UNITED STATES
Rent out your vacation property, cabin, cottage or home with these ready-made short-term rental forms for the United States.
In order to maximize the tax benefits available for vacation properties, there are certain minimum and maximum limits for the number of days you can use the property for personal use in order to make sure that it is considered an investment property for tax purposes. If you exceed those limits, your vacation home is treated as a personal residence and that reduces the amount you can claim for utilities, repairs, taxes and depreciation.
Before you rent your property out, talk to your accountant to find out how the vacation home tax laws apply to your situation. It could result in significant tax savings for you.
